beloved News.

only not quite so regular, as a great
deal of replanting from effects of the
second Harrison freshet was necessa

Oats are about ready to cut, with the
prospects of a good yield.
I honestly do not know liow to
tackle the all absorbing subject of

as it has been told and retold till now
when you meet a neighbor anti a9k
as to his health, crops, etc., in nine
cases out of ten lie will say, in reply,
“I am positively in favor of remov

Opened you ask where he wants to go

were deployed as skirmishers, with
guns, revolvers, clubs, fish-gigs, and
many other articles of hard-ware

A FINE FRUIT FAR*.
Some time since we gave an ac
count of the beautiful and productive
orchard and vineyard which Col. B.
F. Browne, of our city, had grown
in a few years. Mr. Thos. H. Wil
lingham, another of our enterprising
citizens, lias also started a fruit farm,
and the other day gave us the pleas
ure of a look through it.
Mr. AVilliughain was for a long
time one of the laTgeat and most suc
cessful farmers in our section. He
has leased his large plantation, re
moved to the city with his family
and turned his attention and given
his personal supervision exclusively
to grape and fruit culture. Tho re
sults are astonishing as well as most
gratifying. The first vine3 wero
planted in February, 1877. Not a
one has died, but they have grown
with astonishing rapidity and borne
an abundance of fruit. Many of the
vines are loaded down with the large
rich dusters. Although numbers of
bunches havo been cut from almost
every vine, yet they are bending to
the earth underneath their load of
growing and ripening frail. The
"Concord” is the prevailing variety
bat the “Delaware” and others grow
in equal luxuriance. The whole vine
yard with its rich green vines and
thickly clustered grapes presents a
beautiful appearance; and consider
ing the age of the vines, is a most
-vonderful and gratifying evidence
>f the fitness of onr soil end climate
for the purpose of grape culture.
Mr. Willingham i* fgaking a specl-
ilty also of the “Sand Pear,” of which
be hat a large nursery. The trees arc
til flourishing and grow rapidly.
In addition to the vineyard above
described, which is situated at Hr.
Willingham’s home place on Monroe
tnd State street*, be has purchased a
tract of eight acres in the Southern
part of tbe city and has stocked it
with vines and pear and peach trees
>f the best kinds. These were plant
ed in February last and are all grow
ing finely.
The sand pears are especially rapid
in their growth, having increased one
or two feet in about two months.—
Mr. AVillingham has, in all, abont
30,000 trees and vines which are all
itia flourishing condition, and will
no doubt yield a handsome profit—
The press of Southwost Georgia have
long been urging the merits of our
section as a fruit growing country.—
Some of our enterprising citizens
have tried to put the theory into
practice, and with a success that
speaks volumes for our country, and
for the energy of her people. Mr.
Willingham is one of the few who
have undertaken tb supersede cotton
by a less uncertain crop. AA'o trust
his energy, enterprise and determi
nation will reap a rich reward.
Neatness in Farming-
Nothing gives evidence of thrift
and enterprise in farming better tnan
keeping every thing in order. There
are times when even the most pains-
takening men are compelled to let
things go somewhat at looso ends,
but upon the first occasion of spare
time aud due diligence thereafter,
the wonted appearance of things
about the premises should be looked
after.
. At the cost of a little time and
labor when required, the appearance
of an untidy farm ntay be so improv
ed as to add considerably to its vain*,
and the price obtained ltr the event
of its sale. The contrast between neat
and slovenly kept farms represents
more in a pecuniary point of view,
very often, than is supposed. Take a
farm which, by its appearance, shows
clear culture, from which stumps
and bu.hes have been removed, the
buildings kept in repair, the fence*
and gates in order, the rubbish kept
front the road side and fence corners,
the tools housed when not In use, and
the stock exhibiting evidence of good
care and attention, and in the event
of iu purchase it will bring relative
ly much more than one eqttally
tertile, but kept in a slovenly way.
Weedy field*, tumble down fences,
/ate* out of repair, implements scat
tered about tbe farm where they
were used last, rubbish every where,
ind inferior looking stock, take
from a farm nattirally fertile, a
food round sum in event of a sale.—

sult of tho Southerner’s sentiment in
favor of homicide; bull cannot, for
the life of me, see the connection, for
the murderer is a northern man and
an ex-Union soldier, who served in
President Hayes’ regiment during
tho war- Do these Northern gentle
men—using the word in its parlia
mentnry sense—expect its to reform
every Northern ruffian that comes
South, or do they think that our at
mosphere has the malaria of murder
in it, and abuse us because we do
not reform the atmosphere? The
Evening Star talks about the rule of
the revolver down there. AVby does
not the Star shed its purifiving light
on AA’ashingtoii morality, "ana urge
a repeal of the most indulgent law'
that saves from death the six ruffians
who outraged a defenceless woman ?
And why cannot this hightoned mo
rality, that judges the degree of
crime by geographical position, turn
tho leg of the tepographical moral
dividers a little northward ?

Railroad Tariffs in Southwest
Georgia.
COMMENTS MADE BY THE ATLANTA CON
STITUTION.
The recent purclia-e, by Mr. Wadley.
of the 3Ii>nigoinery and Eaufaula railroad
appears to have been a master stroke ol
policy so far as the interests of the Cen
tral railroad nro concerueil. but it has
created quite a Sutler among those who
bare for years been looking forward to
tbe completion ot tho Atlauilc and Ouli
railroad to Pollard, nr, at the veiy least
the completion ot a branch from Alb uq
to Eufaula. Our Albany contemporaries
and some of tlieir correspondents who
aro discussing the probable re-ults of the
purchase, take an exceedingly glom.j
view of the prospect. Certainly the
prospect for carriyng out the designs ot
tbe projectors ol tho Atlantic auc Guli
railroad are gloomy enongb, but we do
not think that the people of Albany or ol
southwest Georgia need fear that the
burden of freight .discrimination will be
increased and for several lessons. Iu
tho first plucc. it is more likely that wiili
all its connections adjusted, ils plans per
fected, eu outside competition check
mated, the Central railroad will lessen,
rather than Incrcaso tho local tariffs uud
discriminations which havo aroused so
muDh complaint' In the second place, il
is not at all likely that a shiewd manager,
such as Mr. Wadley has shown liimse f
to be, knowing tbe popular prejudice
against railroad corporations, will delib
erately add to the 'clamour in southwest
Georgia and thereby iuvito the legislature
to tinker with his freight and passenger
tariffs. The matter .of railroad freights
is so delicate that any attempt to adjust
them by a legislative commission must
result iu ImmcdlHto injury to tho roads
aud, ultimately, iu injury to .the
pcoplo themselves, . It is not likely,
therefore, as wo havo said, that so careful
and cnie'llgent a manager ns Mr. AVndley.
will so adjust his rales as to conitwl the
general assembly (under article 4. section
2, paragraph I uf the state constitution)
to "regulate freight and pnsscugcr tariffs."
Oil the contrary, wo preror to believe that
the ticople or southwest Georgia lake
entirely loo gloomy a view of the puchaie
of the Montgomery and Eaufaula railroad,
but if their fears are realized, they cer
tainly have their remedy. It Is a d> is
geroui ono to resort to, bat it it a remeiiv

Rtpcct ss the Bate or Interest.—
The Leislatnre of the State of New
York has agreed to reduce the legal
1 ate of interest to six per cent. It
lias been at seven pen cent, since the
adoption of the Constitution of 1854.
This is very significant as a sign ot
the times, and as evidence that in the
leading commericial State of the
Union the impression has become
general that there will ho no im
mediate return in this country to the
high rates of interest which have
previously prevailed. This action
of the New York Legislature is in
accord with that of several of the
Western States, the Legislature of
which have recently lowered the of
ficial rates of intorest.
Last Saturday night at seven o’clock
Herman Roeiner, baker at 104 South
Illinois street, Indianapolis, began
the feat of drinking one thousand
glasses of beer in ono thousand con
secutive hours for fifty dollars.—
Rocmcr is to pay five ceuts for each
glass as he drinks it, and forty-one
days and sixteen hours will be taken
up in stowing away tho beer. In case
lie wins John Bernhart, proprietor
ofthc Marmont Hall saloon, where the
drinking is to be done, is to pay for
the beer, which will be even fifty dol
lars. Thus, if Roemer wins, he sim
ply gels the beer and Bernhart loses
in fact only tho retail price of beer,
winch, by the keg, will cost thirty-
live dollars.

Pea Vines as a Fertilizer.—The
testimony is constantly increasing.
Mr. A. E. Blunt in the Farmers
World says: “Pea vines are the best j
fertilizer we can use. By experiment
one crop turned under ' in July or
August has proved equal in value to
a two-year old clover sod. Full of
nitrogen and water they decompose
in a short time, but frequently cat ofl
the vines before they begin to run
(•n July,) and by August the roots
will throw out new vines two feet
long. By spreading caustic lime over
them before turning under they
decompose in two weeks. I sow the
first of May,”
